A lot of stunningly detailed artwork and some very close looks inside the fabricated beasties and Clanker machinery from the Leviathan series. I only wish there was more material!

Of course, I know this is a technical manual, so no plot. But I was hoping for more insight, extra tidbit beyond what was in the books.
Illustrations were well done, I would have liked to have them side by side while reading the series, but other than that, it doesn't really add anything to the series.
Okay overall, pick it up, but don't expect much.

A beautiful illustrated addendum to Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan trilogy -- one of my favorite young adult series to date. It features tons of full-color illustrations of the uniforms, creatures, airships, and walkers of the Leviathan universe, as well as some character portraits, although no plot or story related content.

3.5 Stars. It offers everything it promises, but I was honestly a tad disappointed with this. Only 50 pages with a bit too much empty space between illustrations. Wanted more descriptions and never-before-read content, especially when it came to the characters. Personally prefer the illustrations in the trilogy to the ones in this guide.

I absolutely adored the Leviathan series, and this was a quick yet lavish jaunt back into what I loved most about that series - the imagination (and the illustrations)! As beautiful as it is, I couldn't help but wish that it was longer, or contained more information about the world of Leviathan. It's simply a little too thin to be satisfying, like an appetizer that arrives and is filling than you'd hoped it be.

I was only interested in the illustrations. Keith Thompson is an amazing illustrator.

Nice pictures by Keith Thompson; the accompanying text doesn't add to the related novels. Would have liked more cutaway views or perspective drawings.

Scott Westerfield's Leviathan series is a steam punk masterpiece placed in WWI Europe. The German side and their allies are Clankers, masters of metal and steam. The British side and their allies are Darwinists, countries that have learned how to manipulate DNA to develop their technology. This book is companion piece to the series, a collection of illustrations showing that various ships, uniforms and devices of both sides. It is a must for people who have read the series. It could also be used to hook people in to reading the books.

This book was delightful, however, DO NOT READ before you have finished the trilogy. It spoils the ending which is rather disappointing. The artistry is beautiful and I love the descriptions and focus on the main besties and ships in the series.
